Upcoming Traffic Disruptions: Lane Restrictions Begin Monday in London's West End

Drivers in London's west end are advised to prepare for potential delays starting this Monday, June 17, as significant lane restrictions will be implemented on sections of Riverside Drive and Wonderland Road North. The City of London has announced these measures as part of crucial infrastructure upgrades aimed at enhancing the local storm sewer system.

The affected areas include Riverside Drive, specifically between Wonderland Road North and Braemar Crescent.

Additionally, Wonderland Road North itself will see restrictions stretching from north of Riverside Drive to Kingsway Avenue. For approximately two weeks, motorists can expect a reduction to a single lane of traffic in each direction within these segments.

These temporary changes are necessary to facilitate essential storm sewer installation work, which is a vital component of the broader W-10 Storm Sewer Project.

This extensive initiative is designed to improve drainage capacity and mitigate flooding risks in the area, contributing to the long-term resilience of the city's infrastructure.

Commuters and local residents are strongly encouraged to plan their routes accordingly, allow for extra travel time, or consider alternative transportation methods during this period.

While the work is crucial for future community safety and infrastructure, it will undoubtedly impact daily commutes. The City of London appreciates the public's patience and cooperation as these important improvements are carried out.
